While FreeVipDating.com promises a 100% free dating for life to anyone who signs up and creates a dating profile, it is still left to us, the Dating Cop Team, and other users of the site to verify its legitimacy. So, is FreeVipDating.com a safe place to be looking for an online affair? We provide all answers in the text below and invite you to continue reading.
Is FreeVipDating.com a legitimate dating site?
During our FreeVipDating.com research, we were able to spot many irregularities that made us suspicious of the true nature of this online dating service. But, it wasn’t until we went to read the Terms and Conditions of Use agreement that we discovered proof to back up our suspicions. The real problem is that nobody reads the terms of use and just clicks “I agree” , and that’s how you get scammed.
1) Paid Membership And Automatic Renewal
Although this site tends to claim over and over again that it provides you with a free membership for life, this is far from the truth. When you are taken to the payment page and asked to fill in your credit card information, this is NOT required for security reasons. FreeVipDating.com claims this information are needed to ensure you are above 18 years of age, which is a true hoax, and your credit card info will be used to charge money off your credit card for as long as you don’t notice. In fact, if you scroll to the bottom of the payment page you will discover that you are subscribing to a recurring membership on FreeVipDating.com.
- $49.95 for a monthly membership to FreeVipDating.com
- $39.61 for a monthly subscription to VibeVideo.com
- $28.87 for a monthly subscription to VideoErotic.com
TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT: “For your convenience, the costs and duration of your membership are supplied to you on our registration page on signup. The preauthorization is not a charge to the credit card. However, the then applicable monthly subscription rate may be reserved against the Member’s available credit card limit.”
2) Love Stars Fabricated Profiles
“Love Stars” dating profiles are completely fabricated and have no real people using them. Basically, nothing in these profiles is real, including their pictures, personal information, descriptions and interests. The fabricated profiles are created by the company who owns and runs FreeVipDating.com, in order to fill up the site with gorgeous women (when in fact there are none) and to use these profiles to send you computer-automated messages (to make it look like women are trying to get in touch).
TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT: “You understand, acknowledge, and agree that some of the user profiles posted on this site may be fictitious or models or bots related to our “Love Stars” (LS) program. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the information, text, and pictures contained in the LS profiles do not pertain to any actual person or member, but are included for entertainment purposes only.”
3) Legal Rights and Distribution Of Your Profile Data
If you are wondering where they get the photographs, profile information, personal descriptions, etc. on the Love Stars profiles, then you should read this too. Any information that is made public by posting or uploading on the site, is automatically owned by the company who runs FreeVipDating.com. They gain all proprietary and legal rights to use, reuse and distribute your information however they wish, and this includes translating, mixing-and-matching yours with someone else’s info, and posting these profiles with your data on all websites within their network. Another conclusion that we can draw from this is that fabricated dating profiles don’t have to be created from profile data of FreeVipDating.com members only, but they can be exchanged and taken from other dating platforms.
TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT: “By posting Content to any public area of FreeVipDating, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to FreeVipDating an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, and distribute such information and content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such information and content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. Specifically you agree and acknowledge that your profile and related information and content may be utilized and displayed on other sites which are owned by related companies or authorized services providers (“Network websites”).”
4) Computer-Automated Communications
If all the member profiles are fabricated and a part of the Love Star service. Basically, FreeVipDating.com sends computer automated messages through the fake “Love Stars” profiles. We started receiving chat and email messages immediately after signing up. The weird thing was that we didn’t have any information, text or photos on our profile when we started getting these messages (we didn’t think we needed any since it’s just a test profile). Later, we found out that FreeVipDating.com hopes you will upgrade you membership from free-basic to a paid one. Also, you are blocked form reading any of the messages you receive or contact anyone on the site without paying for a monthly membership first, so your credit card info is kind of extorted.
TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT: “You further understand, acknowledge, and agree that, from time-to-time, LS may contact Website and Services users and members via electronic messaging, including for example, email, instant messages, and SMS, for purposes of encouraging further or broader participation in our site’s Services and/or to monitor user activity.”
The verdict on FreeVipDating.com
We kindly advise you to always read the terms of use on such sites in the future to protect yourself from scammers. FreeVipDating.com is one website that is completely illegitimate. They claim to offer a free membership for a lifetime, but they are actually ripping you off for months on end.
